    Really glad you clarified that, reading Mistborn at the moment and while Kelsier, Vin et. al. have cause and are arguably justified, murderous super assassin is a pretty bleak world view.

    I've always assumed (and you all know what that means) that Hoid was the Pug of the Cosmere.

    At this time, I would like to paraphrase / rip off the Animals: He's just a soul whose intentions are good. Oh Lord please don't let him be misunderstood. Edit Furthermore. If he had killed Kaladin, none of us would be here discussing this right now. He deserves a second chance for that at least. End Edit WRT Jasnah, I'm of the belief that Gavilar wanted to marry her off to Araman for political reasons, or just thought they were a good match, Araman was very keen (a little/lot in love with her) cause she is so cool and pretty and all. And Jasnah was all like, "No way man, I don't want no Scrubs &/or ball and chain weighin' me down"

    Anything by Neil Gaiman. Especially Neverwhere, American Gods and Sandman. Then anything by Brandon. Defending Eysium is easily my favourite work of his that I have completed.

    What? . . . . . . . . Oh well, still going to roll with Galivar because it rhymes with Dalinar.

    I like, but you need a fifth step for completeness. 5) Completed Nahal Bond a. Surgebinder and spren are now as one and consequenlty totally super awesome sauce; capable of heroic (or nefarious) deeds and in the immortal words of Wutang: ain't nothin' to (deleted expletive) with.

    Unless he was "trying" to do something with the wrong gem type. Like if you are trying to fix a piece of equipment with the wrong material (say a metal gear with a plastic cog), it keeps breaking. Personally though, I think he discarded his blade because he needed both hands. I would attribute his glowing to strengthening the formation of his as yet established Nahel bond with his as yet undisclosed spren. As yet.

    Enjoyed it only gripes were that I thought that the Flame of Tar Valon was a terrible name for the weave, especially given that it's polar opposite, balefire is so cool. Also that the last battle went on way too long. At times I found myself pulled out of the action as it seemed like half the point was to tie off loose ends, which admittedly it kind of had to be give the number of maned characters floating about.

    Yes, I don't think he should be executed but definately deserves some sort of pennance. Antihero most def. Yes, I beleive ther is far more to gold allomancy than appears in the ~three pages dedicated to it. I have one buring question in three parts. If as hypothesised by Vin, there are 12 allomatic metals (six base + six alloys) - assuming the 11th is an alloy and not a standalone metal: i) where are they going get the atium from to experiment with? ii) who's the metallurgist going to be? iii) who's going to be the ginuea pig to test them? - If Eland finds a recipe in a book I'll scream. "Swallow this Mistborn, it may may you awesome, it may make you sick or it might kill you. The latter two options are more likely"

    If I had to pick only one, I'd be a coinshot. Allomancy As a self confessed Agnostic with Atheist tendencies, if you ignore for a moment, Kelsiers motives. I think most religions (western anyway) are other people cashing in (for want of a better term on the altruistic goals) of an individual. Fine with religious themes, quite enjoy them, though I believe you have to be looking for a religion to find one. Sazed is probably the character I’d most like to have dinner with. Otherwise it's brain washing. Absolutely not I think it would be very difficult if not impossible for someone to be brought up as she was and not be at least slightly unhinged. However, I don't think she is bat excrement crazy. Just finished Final Empire and If I didn't know that it was a trilogy + +, I'd have thought it was a standalone novel (most plotlines were tied up nicely). In which case I'd put it down to a 1000 year old dictator running his mouth. On that do any of the 17th know if it was sold to the publisher as a standalone and expanded into a trilogy or as a triology. Very Well, the man is an exceptionally entertaining writer. Not my favourite author (Gaiman since you asked) but very very close.

    Fair point. Also, I think Shards is slighly more genereic than a subset people are making it out to be. Plenty of theorising out there on: STOP: Hammer time (might be showing my age here ) and spears. Also, Natans yeah man, I am also REALLY looking foward to the various other methods of bringing the pain.
